Question

compare the student text with the source.
source: christopher sloan, mummies, page 9. published by national geographic society, 2010:
whether mummies were kings and queens entombed with exotic riches, or just regular people, each body has a story to tell. by listening to these stories, told through the work of scientists, we can get close to people who lived before us.
student text:
all mummies reveal a story, whether they were wealthy or poor in life (sloan 9).
is the student text plagiarized?
no, it is not plagiarized.
yes, because it fails to cite the source.
yes, because it fails to use quotation marks and fails to cite the source.

Explanation:

The student rephrased the source's core idea (that all mummies, regardless of social status, have a story) in their own words and properly cited the source (Sloan 9), which meets academic standards for avoiding plagiarism.

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
